I've had this dvd player for over a year now and i've never had any problems with it. i use it with my small tv in my room and it works on that just fine. Another plus ive found is that unlike other players it was automatically set to region 0 and so i didnt have to fiddle around trying to find out how to play american dvd's....cuz it just did! It recognises everything under the sun aswell, even data dics and i love it. highly recommended

I ordered this as a second player for a spare bedroom and I have to say I'm absolutely delighted with it.

What you get is a specification you would have paid £400 for only 18 months ago. The picture quality is fantastic, the disc navigation is smooth and quick, and the on-screen menus intuitive and easy to use. As I'm using this as a second player I have not tried to connect it to a full surround sound set up, but I'm sure it would also impress in this respect given the quality of the model.

Thoroughly recommended for a second player - or even as a primary player with playback quality like this and features like progressive scan.

1. Very fast setup - didn't need the manual
2. Played discs from regions 1 2 & 3 without problem
3. Plays all my home movie DVD+R & +RW also DVD-R & -RW
4. Excellent picture

I paid £ 68 ish (Delivered) for this player - You could easily pay four times that amount and get no better machine...

At first like one or two of the other reviewers here I had problems with this dvd player - it played region 2 discs fine, but not region 1, despite it being multiregion. Amazon sent me a replacement player (with great promptness) but I had the same problem with that one. What it boiled down to was, my TV was very old, and I'd been running my old dvd player through my VCR into the TV. When I bought a new TV and plugged the Pioneer into it directly with a SCART lead - hey presto, it instantly played region 1 dvds fine (in fact rather better than my old player). Basically the manufacturers have added some sort of blocker to stop you running the dvd player through the video (to stop someone from running off bootleg copies, presumably). What confused me - & possibly other reviewers who've had problems - was that when I ran it through the VCR initially it played region 2 dvds fine, so it didn't occur to me that it not playing region 1 ones was due to a copyright blocker. Other than that, 5 stars - but I can't but dock a star for the time-consuming irritation & confusion, all of which was engendered by an extraneous 'blocker' element that hasn't been installed in previous dvd players I've owned.
